Of all of the Canary Islands of Spain, Tenerife is the largest and one of the most popular for people looking for a sun holiday. The temperatures stay high all year round and this is one of the biggest attractions but Tenerife has a lot more to offer too. Things like quad biking, fishing and jet skiing are some of the most popular things to do in Tenerife but there is no substitute for relaxing on one of Tenerife’s many beautiful beaches.

El Puertito beach is an extremely popular beach with the very few people who know of its existence. Whilst the rest of the island has been developed somewhat, El Puertito remains almost untouched. There are a few traditional buildings which surround the beach and the beach itself has pale gold sand and a number of brightly coloured old fishing boats. Despite not being far from the more commercial resorts on the island, in reality the two are worlds apart.

For a more developed beach with easy access, Playa de las Arenas is the perfect location. The area is made up of a number of small beaches with black sand and pebbles but also there are rock pools and coves too. There is plenty of parking meaning it is easy to get to and from the area and there are restaurants and shops there too.

For those who really want some peace and quiet, there is nowhere better than Roque Bermejo. You can only get to Roque Bermejo by boat or by a two hour trek but once there it is well worth it. Because it is hard to get to, it isn’t used or known about by many people at all. If you do put in the effort to get there, you might find you have your own private paradise for the day.

The above mentioned beaches are just the very tip of what Tenerife has to offer and regardless of where on the island you are you can be sure that there will be a beautiful beach not far away. If you’re willing to go the extra mile literally you can find some beaches which will be like sunbathing on your own private island.
